Presentation to Year 6 at William Austin Junior School
One of Rotary International's objectives is to tackle
illiteracy in the World. With that in
mind the Rotary Club of Tower Hamlets has produced the most amazing beautifully
illustrated dictionary for children 9 and older, which they titled
"Dictionaries 4 Life".
Our Club decided to purchase 120 copies of these
Dictionaries and present them to Year 6 at William Austin
Junior School
on the 30th June 2009.
Several of our members attended including Past President Jean Howe who spoke to the
children about Rotary and personally presented each D4L to the pupils at a
Special Assembly organised by the Headmistress. The assembly was accompanied by the School
Choir who sang songs from the musical The Sound of Music. It was a most enjoyable morning which
concluded with tea and biscuits
The children have since written to the Club members thanking
them for the dictionaries.
The School has requested that we present the D4L again next
year and it is our intention to do so.
